“I loved helping with the Meningitis Now Student Awareness campaign. It’s a great way to meet students and change their perspective about the disease and to talk to them about why they should get the MenACWY vaccine.

I was a student when I contracted meningitis and it’s had a huge impact on my life. I’d encourage all students and young people to not take the risk and to get the vaccine as soon as possible."

"Knowledge is power! Knowing the signs and symptoms and getting vaccinated could even save your life one day. If by sharing my story and raising awareness, prevents one person going through what I have, then it's worth all my efforts!"
